It is significant under Criterion C for its intact collection of residential, commercial and community landmark buildings, including a notable number of Stick and Queen Anne examples tied to the town's northern cultural influence.","narrative":"North Tallapoosa Residential Historic District covers a neighborhood of 158 contributing resources just north of downtown Tallapoosa, in western Georgia near the Alabama line. Its streets began to develop in 1882 along the Georgia Pacific Railway tracks, and the plan was greatly enlarged in 1887 by the Tallapoosa Land, Mining, and Manufacturing Company, which aimed to create a boom city. Houses range from 1880s Queen Anne, Stick and Folk Victorian examples to bungalows, locally made concrete block houses, and English cottages of the 1930s and 1940s. The district also holds four churches, a 1936 high school with a 1956 International-style gymnasium, and the c. 1888 Chambers & Fountain Store, the last boom-period wood-frame commercial building in the city. Clustered development on fifty-foot lots reflects the land company's planning. The district was recognized for its planning history and its intact architecture from 1882 to 1956.","period_of_significance":"1882-1956","architect_builder":"Charles D.
